Astronomical Clock at Old Town Hall

There has been a clock here since the beginning of the 15th century. On the hour, a procession of the 12 apostles appears at the two windows above the round clock face (if you look carefully, you will see a couple of apostles at the open windows, as this photograph was taken at 3 pm.) Also, the skeleton to the right of the clock pulls a rope and turns over an hourglass and the Turk beside him moves his head. Other moving figures are Vanity (who looks at himself in a mirror) and Greed. At the end of the display, a cock crows and the clock chimes the hour. Quite a spectacle that attracts a huge crowd of spectators!
